A Girl and the things she makes

It takes about 10 minutes, and afterwards, your sewing machine will sound “sew” much better.

What you need:

Screwdriver

can of air

sewing machine oil or 3 in 1 oil

Here is how:

1. Turn off the machine and unplug it.

2. Remove the screw on the back of your sewing machine and remove the face plate.

4. Take your air can and blow all the dust away. Mine usually gathers in the bobbin chamber.

3. Put a few drops of oil on each of the points above. {Basically you put oil on whatever moves.} I use a paintbrush so I am sure not to get to much oil. {Too much oil will soil your thread and fabric}

4. Now run your machine for about two minutes. No need for thread {unless you have some old stuff you want to get rid of} I usually just put a scrap piece of fabric on and sew away! This gets all of the oil moving around.

Pin Me!

5. You are done! Sew away! You are supposed to clean your sewing machine every week, but…*cough* I don’t do that. *cough* =)
